Carlos-
There used to be a driver on the Agilent website that you could download. I just checked the website and couldn't find. Aparently it was plug and and play. You installed the drivers and the 86142B would appear in MAX under Miscellaneous VISA sources
I believe the driver came with some sample applications as well to help get you started I tried searching google but no luck.

Thanks very much, although i had already done the download of the driver, i could be more confident that i were doing the right thing and The tips about the MAX were very useful as well since i didn´t know these tools.
Now, im going to travel, and than i wont post here for a while, but i am still having some problems with the data acquisition and so i will ask foi more help if possible next week.
Thanks again, Carlos Mayer.

Hello again,
So, like i have said, i am still having problems to get the data from de OSA by the network.
The problem is the following : i create a new TCP/IP resource, but when i try to run the vi, at the end of it,an error occurs saying basically " The protocol specified is invalid".
What does it mean? Has anybody ever had some problem similar to that?
Ah, another point is in the Device Status from MAX that it is written:
VISA returned this static device when finding resources, and MAX could use VISA to parse the resource name. MAX could not succesfully open a VISA session to the device.
And, when i click the option " Troublesoot..." it says
This device may be missing some functionality. You may not experience any problems using this device if your application does not require the unavailable functionality.
Thanks in advance, Carlos Mayer.

Yes, i am using this type of TCP/PI : TCP/IP VXI-11 Instrument.
The main problem is that i can´t find a "Lan Device name" on the local subnet by the given browse.
But i am quite sure the computer and the OSA are correctly connected in the same newtwork since another software(in this computer) is able to connect by the network to the OSA.
Any idea about what it might be? Any clue will be very useful.
Thanks , Carlos Mayer.

But when i try to run a vi, it finds the device, but appears an error :
"The interface associated with this session is not currently the controller in charge"
I have alreardy been to the MAX e the option " Device Enable" is selected.
Anybody know how to correct it?
Thanks
